STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

LIPNLipase member N; Plays a highly specific role in the last step of keratinocyte differentiation. May have an essential function in lipid metabolism of the most differentiated epidermal layers. (398 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
PCSK5
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 5; Serine endoprotease that processes various proproteins by cleavage at paired basic amino acids, recognizing the RXXX[KR]R consensus motif. Likely functions in the constitutive and regulated secretory pathways. Plays an essential role in pregnancy establishment by proteolytic activation of a number of important factors such as BMP2, CALD1 and alpha-integrins; Belongs to the peptidase S8 family.
  
  
 0.892
SP6
Transcription factor Sp6; Promotes cell proliferation; Belongs to the Sp1 C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
   
  
 0.880
CYP4F22
Cytochrome P450 4F22; A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in epidermal ceramide biosynthesis. Hydroxylates the terminal carbon (omega- hydroxylation) of ultra-long-chain fatty acyls (C28-C36) prior to ceramide synthesis. Contributes to the synthesis of three classes of omega-hydroxy-ultra-long chain fatty acylceramides having sphingosine, 6-hydroxysphingosine and phytosphingosine bases, all major lipid components that underlie the permeability barrier of the stratum corneum. Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second [...]

LRP5
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5; Acts as a coreceptor with members of the frizzled family of seven-transmembrane spanning receptors to transduce signal by Wnt proteins. Activates the canonical Wnt signaling pathway that controls cell fate determination and self-renewal during embryonic development and adult tissue regeneration. In particular, may play an important role in the development of the posterior patterning of the epiblast during gastrulation (By similarity). During bone development, regulates osteoblast proliferation and differentiation thus determining bone [...]

ABCA12
ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 12; Probable transporter involved in lipid homeostasis; Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCA family.
   
 
 0.830
ACRV1
Acrosomal vesicle protein 1.
   
 
 0.805
PNPLA1
Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 1; Lipid hydrolase. Important in the formation of the epidermal lipid barrier. Plays a role in glycerophospholipid metabolism.
   
 
 0.795
SP9
Transcription factor Sp9; Transcription factor which plays a key role in limb development. Positively regulates FGF8 expression in the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) and contributes to limb outgrowth in embryos (By similarity).
   
  
 0.795
MARVELD1
MARVEL domain-containing protein 1; Microtubule-associated protein that exhibits cell cycle- dependent localization and can inhibit cell proliferation and migration.
   
  
 0.795
MTRNR2L5
Humanin-like 5; Plays a role as a neuroprotective and antiapoptotic factor. Belongs to the humanin family.
